...work permit. “I’m sure all of the international science concentrators here will like this change,” Ilic said. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff ’75 said in a press release that this rule will enable businesses to attract and retain highly skilled foreign workers, giving U.S. companies a competitive advantage in the world economy. “I am sure several U.S. firms in the high-tech sectors have very much welcomed this policy,” said Economics professor Pol Antràs.
